Wifes new bow
« on: May 10, 2014, 09:37:24 pm »
My wife found her old bow a bit slow at the Classic. Like a good husband I got to work asap. It is a bamboo,ipe hickory lam,slight reflex. It is 64 ntn pulling 44# at her 26" draw. It is a rocket launcher!

  Beautiful! Nice work on the bow ,too............................... Oh come on , you had to be expecting that! :D  . I wish I could get my wife interested in  shooting. Maybe now that the kids are getting into it she might give it a try.  Cherish the time you get to spend together , whatever you're doing.

Looks good !! 

But why is the shelf so high above the grip ??  I assume that's by design ?

Great looking bow, Keith.  Between the three lams you got it should be plenty tough enough to drop that shelf a little.

If you mean on the strike plate, no it is not tape it is brain tan off a deer that grew up around our farm and had the air let out of him by a .45 flint lock round ball that I molded in my fireplace. I then scraped tanned and broke the hide which is now on the shelf. More or less. >:D

Nice work Wildman.  Looks like a shooter.
